Advisory
Whether people seek your judgment before making decisions.
Advisory is whether people ask what you think before they decide, not after. It is the difference between being relied on for work and being relied on for judgment.
When this signal is quiet, people may value what you do and still never think to ask your view. Ideas you raise get overlooked until someone else repeats them.
How people describe it
People rarely search for the signal by name. They describe what it feels like when it is weak:
- “why does no one listen to me”
- “people ignore my ideas”
- “why do people ignore me at work”
Answers
- Why do people ignore me when I talk in a group?
